MM9 Class Progression is helpful to complete your quest and save Chedian, whether it is your first time playing or the final time. The final score is based on accomplishment vs game-time spent to get it done.
What is new?
Class Progression: All characters start as a Human, Dwarf, Elf, or Half-Orc and will select 1 of 2 starting classes. The Fighter begins the path of Might and the Initiate begins the path of Magic. Each path will promote twice and end with 1 of 8 final classes. Each class has limits on the skills and skills expertise that they can reach.
Skill Learning: Skillbooks are found as loot or purchased in the town Libraries. A skillbook can be used once to train the skill to a character with Novice expertise. Once the skill is learned then it is possible to progress the skill to higher Skill Levels (1,2,3,etc) and higher Skill Expertise (Expert, Master, GM).
Magic Skills: There are only 4 Magic Skills: Elemental, Spirit, Light, Dark and access to various spells are gated behind a combination of magic skill expertise. For example, to learn Town Portal a character must be an Expert in Elemental Magic AND a Novice in Light Magic.
Selecting Party Skills
Knowing the skill limits of each final Class is helpful to design your Party in a way that provides access to the skills and spells you want to use. Select your final classes first and then set forth on the path to reach progression goals.

Gladiator’s Path

They have only Master access to Armor so they cannot fully eliminate the armor recovery penalty but they can wear Plate. Body Building GM gives them potential for a lot of HP.

Paladin’s Path
The Paladin is a hybrid class and all 6 statistics can be important depending on if you want to lean into damage output or damage mitigation. GM access to Body Building means you could favor MAG over END and still have decent HP. GM Armor will allow you to maximize your AC without sacrificing recovery time. Pick Blade or Cudgel and decide if you want to use a Shield — if you don’t use a shield then you can do more damage with 2-hand weapons but a Shield can give you even more AC. With only Expert level Spirit and Light magic you will not learn Regeneration or Resurrection and your Heal spell will be inferior to a Priest or Druid.

Ranger’s Path
The Ranger has GM access to Bow for great ranged damage but does not allow point blank shot. GM Perception will find all the secrets and allow you to open any chest without fear of trap damage. Identify Monster GM is not very useful but is fun to role play. Dodging GM and Armor/Shield path are mutually exclusive so pick one. Solid backup for anyone and a great choice for finding secrets and opening chests — but keep in mind that it takes awhile to GM Perception.. so have someone else handy to open chests early-game.

Druid’s Path
The Druid’s survivability is high with GM Dodging and also the Natural Armor buff for a considerable AC coupled with GM Body Building to account for the occasional attack that gets through. Master Elemental allows for some spell nuking with Chain Lightning and Column of Fire though not as powerfully as the Priest or Mage. A druid can GM Unarmed for solid melee damage output which explains why they are magically inferior to Priest, Mage, and Lich.

Dungeon of Secrets is a series of tests that must be completed without setting off any traps. You will want to Autosave after completing each test and restore as needed until you figure out the test then repeat until you make it through. IMPORTANT: Each test is timed from the point you pull the lever to the point when you open the door and you will only know if you have done it quick enough based on what happens when you open the door -- if a blade arm swings down, you were too slow.. if no blade arm, you are good -- enter the door and autosave before the next lever. If you set off any traps you need to restore and try again. A few things to remember, you can crouch with C, you can Jump with X, you can turn on/off autorun in Settings, you can cast Fleet Foot to move quicker, you must WAIT for fleet foot to fade if you want to turn it off.# # Press the Button to open the gate and so it begins...# # Test 1: A winding hallway with a seiries of Levers and Doors. Pull the lever and open the door, only proceed if you do not see the swing arm. You can get a feel for the timing on the very first door.# # Test 2: Use the grate to swim under the trap trigger and Jump out on the otherside to the hallway..no lever and no timer on this one only.. enter the door.# # Test 3: You need to jump on the tiles without touching the edges before the time runs out, pull the lever and go. Remember, if you set of any traps or if the swing arm comes down at the door then restore and try again. The running jump distant is too long, try jumping at angles or with auto-run off for this one.# Test 4: Watch your head here and get up the stairs fast.# # Test 5: Look into smoky window and identify the lever you need to pull, the details on the wall will help.# # Test 6: Jump over the trap trigger and the pit, if you set off the trap, fall in the pit, or see the swing arm at the door, restore and try again# # Test 7: The high point is an elevator down, the lever is down there as is the door.# # Test 8: You will need to jump straight and diagonally and/or use strafe to get through here quickly without setting off a trap... check with the Attendant to see if you really got it. # OK, that was the easy one.. now head to Dook's Castle in SE Guberland.# ~in Dook's Castle# in the NE Room, twist the wall-mounted Shield in the NE corner to reveal a staircase in the SW corner. Once you open this passageway, the Half-Orcs will be upset with you, unless you already killed them. Head down the passage to the caves below. Take the first right turn to the South. Pull the Winged folks single into the tunnel. Hop to East end for Everstrike but note that it is in a Black Chest so bring someonw with Master 10 Disarm or higher. Return to Fenja. | |

Listen to the Jarl's plan and proceed to the Arena and enter as a combatant. There will be no combat in this case, just a dialoge with a man in the arena, are you not entertained? Talk to everyone in town to find Harris Willington in the General Store. "Arrest" him and return to the Jarl.. then return to Grehgknak to complete the promotion. |
Lich’s Path
The Lich is the exclusive GM of Dark Magic, can exclusively cast Death’s Touch and Souldrinker, and in my opinion, is superior to the Mage for damage output and control magic. The Lich has the most difficult promotion quest but also the coolest.

| Extreme | Scholar | Lich | Frosgard City | Skulkil the Dark | Lich Promotion | 0 | 0 | New Portrait | Retrieve a note from Chasm of the Dead in Dragnheim then clear Lich Lab in Yorwick. | This quest behaves a little differently than the other promotion quests as you will not "mark" your Scholar for promotion -- you will learn how to promote yourself. You will face MANY undead in your search, this is the most difficult promotion quest.# # Find Skulkil the Dark in Frosgard City for part of the instructions, you can find him near the maypole.# # Enter Chasm of the Dead in N Drangheim. The first section has only Skeletons, clear it and make your way to the exterior section. Once outside you will need to stay high on the ledge and walk all the way around the chasm to a door leading W back into the mountain. Apparitions will spawn behind you as you move around the ledge, move slowly to deal with 1 at a time. Once back to the interior head W to a large square room with mummy coffins around the perimeter. Clear the room, then grab the instructions from the room center.# # Enter Connecting Tunnels in NW Thronheim. Make your way W to exit to Yorwick. You will exit S of a large mountain range, the Lich Lab is far to the NE but you must go far S to get around the mountain. You will face many Apparitions but eventually you will find some looking away from you, looking toward the Lich Lab -- you can avoid fighting those that look away if you move past them to the NE tight against the mountains to your right. Reach a small group of Sorcerers, dispatch them. Here near their little camp you can jump up onto the moutain and head NW towards the Lich Lab avoiding many Apparitions, this is a minor convenience. Enter the Lich Lab.# # ~in Lich Lab# There are 3 floors here, you have entered on the main floor. Explore and clear the main floor to find the Storage room in the center of the map and collect Ingredients and Jars, a set for each aspiring Lich in your party. Now return to the entry point and go up the grand stairs to the top floor. Explore and clear the top floor to find the alchemy lab. Use the cookpot and burner to create a Potion for each aspiring Lich, don't drink it just yet. Now return to the main floor, N hallway looking over the large machine. Off this N hallway enter the door to the N, which leads W then S to a staircase down to the bottom floor. The bottom floor is a long spiraling hallway with many side rooms, most with loot and nasties to deal with, clear it and make your way to the E hall. On the E hall, the S doorway leads to a large library, clear it. The door to the W from here leads into the large machine. Clear the room with the machine, I suggest pulling foes into the library to deal with there. Once access to the machine is safe you can start the process. On the S of the machine on the upper gangway is a lever, pull it. Aspiring Liches, drink your potions and enter the entact chamber on the bottom part of the machine then pull the lever there. |
